Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Fax (516) 765-1823 Telephone (516) 765-1800 ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS Appl. No. 4065: Application of PELLEGRINI WINERY for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-31B.13 for permission to establish winery and related uses for the production and sale of wine produced from grapes primarily grown in the location of this vineyard. Location of Property: North Side of Main Road (State Route 25), Cutchogue, NY; County Tax Map District 1000, Section 109, Block 1, Lot 8.7; bounded on the west by Alec and Cross, north by Jablonski, east by Carnation Properties, south by Main Road. WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on December 16, 1991; and WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard were heard and their testimony recorded; and WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony and documentation submitted concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and the surrounding areas; and WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact: 1. This is an application for a Special Exception under the provisions of Article III, Section 100-31B.13 for permission to establish the production and retail sales of wine produced from grapes primarily grown on the subject vineyard, co~only referred to as a winery. 2. Floor plan and site plan maps filed November 14, 1991 for consideration by the Board of Appeals were prepared by Samuels & Steelman, R.A. (lastly dated 10/30/91). 3. The applicants, Robert Pellegrini and Rita J. Pelle- grini, are the owners of this 36 acres (as shown by a deed dated April 30, 1991). This 36-acre tract of land is identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as 1000-109-1-8.7 and is located in the ~age2 - Appl. No. 4065 Matter of PELLEGRINI WINERY Decision Rendered January 23, 1992 "A/C" Agricultural-Conservation Zone District with 372.89 ft. (at a tie line) along the north side of the Main Road (State Route 25), Hamlet of Cutchogue. 4. With the exception of a small, one-story gazebo structure, the premises is vacant and has been used agriculturally as a grape vineyard. 5. The following data is noted for the record: (a) proposed building areas as shown on the A-1 Floor Plan revised 10/29/91 for: (1) wine tasting room 28' x 50' plus display area, tasting area and bar, toilet rooms, stair, office mezzanine, and other accessory areas; totaling 1550 sq. ft.; (2) case storage area 33' x 43'; (3) bottling room, empty-case storage, hall, employee lounge and accessory areas, 33' x 56'; (4) fermentation room, mezzanine, vineyard manager area, 33' x 81'; (5) courtyard, walkway and entry areas, all as shown on the ground level plan; (6) subsequently on January 10, 1992, the agent/architect for the owners furnished a letter giving a breakdown of three major components with square footages. {In making this determination, reliance was made on the documentation in the file as of the date of the closing of the hearing, although the January 10th letter reiterates many of the statements made during the public hearing as well as combined square footages of three components major to the operations}. (b) a Negative SEQRA Declaration dated December 23, 1991 was determined by the Southold Town Planning Board, as lead agency. 6. It is the position of this Board that activities and operations of the winery with a minimum setback of 60 feet plus an additional 20-ft. buffer (for an 80 ft. setback) from the front property line is necessary along this State Highway, for several reasons. To the west of this parcel is a blind curve in the main highway (State Route 25). This highway is a heavily traveled state road and it is known that throughout the years this curve has been prone to accidents (police reports, etc.). It is also personal knowledge of the board that westerly sections ~age 3 - Appl. No. 4065 Matter of PELLEGRINI WINERY Decision Rendered January 23, 1992 of this highway have been widened by the N.Y.$. Department of Transportation over the past five or six years, and that turning lanes have been documented. The shoulder areas are not sufficient to handle sudden turning and it is known that turning lanes have become necessary - especially for increased traffic areas resulting from new cor~ercial operations, including public assembly during winery events, during special seasons, classes for the public, or other public assemblies related to the winery operations. (It may become necessary in the event this winery is expanded or its activities increased to address traffic issues and request a Traffic Study under the N.Y.S. Environmental Quality Review Act, for all state, county and town agencies to evaluate.) It is also noted that a setback at not less than 80 feet for all buildings is necessary since the areas accessory to the principal building are located partly in the side yard. An open courtyard and covered walkway areas separate the production area from the accessory storage and tasting buildings. Accessory uses are required to be in the rear yard only, and the rear yard area technically is that area to the north of the production building (where grape vines and gravel drive areas are proposed). Accessory uses and structures are not permitted in the side yard or front yard areas. An additional 20 ft. buffer added to the 60 ft. front yard setback is not unreasonable in light of the size of this parcel (36 acres) and the effects of the activities conducted as part of the winery use. 7. In considering this application, the Board finds and determines that the conditional grant of this use: (a) will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent-use districts; (b) will not adversely affect the safety, health, welfare, comfort, con- venience or order of the Town; (c) is in harmony with and will promote the general purposes and intent of zoning. 8. The Board has also considered subsections (A) through (F) of Article XXVI, Section 100-263, as well as subparagraphs A through P of Section 100-264 of the Zoning Code in making this determination. Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was RESOLVED, to GRANT a Special Exception in the Matter of Application No. 4065 (PELLEGRINI WINERY), SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. That the proposed buildings, structures and related winery activities be located a minimum of 80 feet from the southerly (front) property line; Page 4 - Appl. No. 4065 ~atter of PELLEGRINI WINERY Decision Rendered January 23, 1992 2. That the easterly yard area be screened at a height of not less than three feet, from a point approximately 60 feet from the front property line running in a north/south direction a distance of 135 feet (to the end of ramp area), and be continuously maintained; 3. Ail winery activities and operations must be located at least 80 feet from the front property line; 4. That the principal building shall meet the same height requirements as that established in the zoning code for a principal residential structure, to wit: not exceeding 35 feet. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis, Dinizio and Villa. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was absent due to poor weather conditions). This resolution was duly adopted.

This winery received a Special Exception from the ZBA prior to its construction two year ago. As proposed, this kitchen is for the private use of Mr. Pellegrini, his staff and his guests.

GREENPORT, L.I., NEW YORKlI944 November 19, 1984 Mr. Gerard Goehringer Board of Appeals Town of Southold Main Road Southold, New York 11971 Dear Gerry: You have asked that I provide you with the provisions of Article 22 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law of the State of New York as it relates to wineries located on premises devoted to grape growing. I do not find any Article 22 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law. I do, however, find an Article 6 in this law which deals specifically .with special provisions relating to wine, and I have made a copy of this article and it is enclosed herewith designated "A". You will note that Section 76-a relates to a farm winery license. I have also enclosed herewith as "B", the amendments to Article 6 down through 1983. You will note in these amendments that the products which are to be permited under the ABC license have been broadened to include fruit juices, jellies, gifts and souvenirs. The law relating to wine was amended at the 1984 Legislative Session and a copy of such legislation is enclosed herewith and designated "C". I am also enclosing the Govenor's Memorandum with respect to the 1984 legislation and it is designated "D". You must keep in mind that although a person who possesses a farm winery license is now authorized under that license to sell gifts, etc. this does not mean that such legislation supersedes the local town zoning code. A licensee is subject to the zoning code even though his local license authorizes sales other than wine. If you have any questions on this matter, please call me. Yours very truly, ROBERT W.

All other 192 January 3, 1992 S A M U E L S & S T E E L M A N Mr. Gerald P. Goehringer, Board of Appeals Town of Southold P.O. Box 1179 Southold, NY 11971 Chairman Re: Special Exception Approval Pellegrini Winery S.C.T.M. 1000-108-1-8.7 Dear Mr. Goehringer, Our client, Robert and Joyce Pellegrini have requested Special Exception approval to construct a new Winery in the Agricultural Conservation Zone on the Main Road in Cutchogue. At theDecember 16, 1991 Public Hearing, we and our client presented a Site Plan, Floor Plans and Elevations of the proposed project to the Board. During the hearing, several questions were asked by members of the Board regarding various aspects of the project. The following is further clarification of our answers to those questions. 1. SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING The building area is composed of three major components: Wine Tasting, Wine Making, and Storage. The following is a square footage breakdown of these areas: a. Wine Tasting Room 1550 SF (including display area, tasting area and bar, toilet rooms, stair and office mezzanine) b. Wine Making Area 7110 SF (including Tank and Barrel Fer- mentation room, barrel storage, wine makers office and lab, vine- yard manager's office, employee lounge, and bottling area) c. Storage Area 1690 SF (including empty case storage, filled case storage, misc storage) TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE 10350 SF ARCHITECTS 25235MAIN ROAD CUTCHOGUE, NEW YORK 11935 (516) 734-6405 2. BUILDING ORIENTATION The architectural design of the proposed Winery addresses various visual orientations: the Main Road, the parking area, and the vineyard. Its prominence on the Main Road required the building to be visually pleasing from more than one side. The South Elevation is the most visible to people driving along the road and is therefore considered to be the front of the building. The intent of our design of this elevation is to achieve a proper scale to the building by careful articulation of massing, materials and architectural detailing. The courtyard acts as an interface between the taller portion of the building at the rear and the road. The trellis along the road gives the Winery an open, inviting feeling. It is to be built of large wood columns which continue as an arcade around the courtyard. The trellis roof is to be planted with non-producing grape vines or flowering vines such as wisteria. This will soften the architecture with vegetation common to a vineyard. The details and materials will be consistent on the remaining sides of the building and additional design solutions have been introduced to conceal areas such as the loading and crushing areas. In addition, the landscaping will continue on all sides of the building to create a harmonious landscape, suitable to a rural context. 3. CRUSHING PAD LOCATION/EQUIPMENT NOISE The Crushing Pad will be located on the east side of the building approximately 7 feet below grade. Access is by means of a ramp from the rear of the site. The Crushing Pad will be here for close proximity to the fermentation room and barrel storage. With the Crushing Pad below grade, all the equipment and gondolas will be hidden from the Main Road and other areas that will be seen by the public. The Crushing pad will be used only 5 to 10 days a year to press grapes into juice, which will be pumped into stainless steel tanks or barrels for fermentation. The equipment for this process is completely self-contained and generates a very small amount of noise. Once the grapes have been pressed, the juice will be pumped into tanks or barrels with the use of either pneumatic or electric pumps. These pumps generate some noise but are located inside the building. Any noise which is part of the process will be contained, because the crushing pad will be below grade with a partial roof covering. This should help to mitigate any superficial noise. We hope we have adequately addressed some of your concerns regarding the square footage of the building, the architectural design facing the Main Road and the location and noise levels of the crushing process. If we can answer any additional question or any provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

GOEHRINGER', CHAIRMAN CHARLES GRIGONIS, JR. SERGE DOYEN. JR. JOSEPH H. SAWICKI JAMES DINIZIO, JR. ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS Application of CUTCHOGUE FARMS LTD (a/k/a GRISTINA VINEYARDS) for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-30B for permission to establish Winery, at premises located along the north side of the Main Road, Cutchogue, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-109-01-13. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on Thursday, October 6, 1988, in the Matter of the Application No. 3769SE; and WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard -were heard and their testimony recorded; and WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony and documentation submitted concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and the surrounding areas; and WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact: 1. This is an application pursuant to the requirements of Article III, Section 100-30B for a Special Exception, Subsection 14 for permission to establish Winery use for the production and retail sales of wine produced from grapes primarily grown on the vineyard on which such winery is located. 2. The premises in question is a 53-acre (+-) parcel located in the "A" Residential and Agricultural Zone District with frontage along the north side of the Main Road (State Route 25), Hamlet of Cutchogue. 3. The subject premises is improved with a two-story framed barn structure and is more particularly identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 109, Block 1, Lot 13. · P~ag~ 2 - Appeal No.~69 · Mat~er of'CUTCHOGUE~FARMS LTD. '~ Decision Rendered October 26, 1988 3. Submitted for consideration are the Site Plan (Map amended August 26, 1988), foundation, elevation and floor plans, prepared by Donald A. Denis, A.I.A., P.C. depicting the proposed two-story building (and the existing building). The new construction, inclusive of the concrete crushing pad and setting tank(s), is proposed to be set back 270+- feet distant from the (front) property line along the Main Road, 295+- feet from the nearest neighboring property line to the south (now or formerly Rose Petrash), and 42+- feet from the easterly (side) property line. 4. It is noted for the record that reviews have been made and are pending by the Planning Board indicating their general acquiescence with the elements of the site-plan under its purview. 5. It is the position of this Board that activities and operations of the winery at the requested setback of approximately 42 feet from the easterly property line is not within the best interests or the advancement of the health, safety and general welfare of the public in general and particularly the immediate neighboring property(ies). It is the opinion of this Board that such activities can be located a 'minimum of 100 feet from the easterly property line and such a requirement is not unreasonable under the circumstances. 6. In considering this application, the Board finds and determines that the conditional grant of this use: (a) will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent-use districts; (b) will not adversely affect the safety, health, welfare, comfort, con- venience or order of the Town; (c) is in harmony with and will promote the general purposes and intent of zoning. 7. The Board has also considered subsections (a) through (1) of Article XII, Section 100-121C(2) of the Zoning Code in making this determination. Accordingly, on motion by Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Goehringer, it was RESOLVED, to GRANT a Special Exception for a Winery for the Production and Retail Sales of Wine Produced From Grapes Primarily Grown on this Vineyard in the Matter of the Application of CUTCHOGUE FARMS LTD. under Appl. No. 3769, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. That the crushing pad either be: (a) relocated to the . Pag~ 3 - Appeal No1769 '~Matter of CUTCHOGUE~ARMS LTD.

CHAIRMAN ~/ RECEIVED AND FILED THE SOUTHOLD TOWN C~K DATE ~ ~ HOUR lk TRANSCRIPT OF HEARING SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS REGULAR MEETING OF MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1991 Board Members Present: Chairman, Gerard P. Goehringer Members: Doyen, Grigonis, Dinizio and Villa Linda Kowalski, Z.B.A. Secretary and approximately 35 persons in the audience. The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:35 p.m. and read the notice of hearing and application for the record. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: I have a tax map indicating this and surrounding properties in the area. I have a survey, site plan rather, developed by Samuels and Steelman revised 10/30/91 indicating the nature of this application and the placement of the respective buildings and their location on the property. And I'd like to ask I assume Mr. Pellegrini or Ms. Steelman who would like to speak. Okay unfortunately that mike is not working so we're going to have you to use this one over here. MS STEELMAN: My name is Nancy Steelman, I'm with Samuels and Steelman Architects. We are in front of the Board tonight for a special exception for a winery in an agricultural conservation zone. The property is basically as it has been stated on the North Road in Cutchogue. It is generally known in the community with a small white gazebo that's location on the property. The surrounding areas are approximately farms to the south, there's a farm that's also to the east. Environmentals is to the west and there's a small residence and farm also to the west. Within that area there are approximately three wineries that exist within probably about a two mile radius from the property and I think at this point what we're trying to do is continue that use within the areas of Cutchogue. I'd like to show that the property is approximately thirty six acres and it has been, grapes have been planted over approximately about ten years ago. Two thirds of the property is planted so it's a very.old set of grapes for this area and they are very good wine producing grape and have been very successful to this point. As you can see most of the property has been planted. The only remaining section is a small corner on the east side of the property on the Main Road, that has not been planted. This Page 2 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. MS STEELMAN, cont'd: was originally a house, a farm house, barns, that were on the property many many years ago. I'm not sure exactly at what point they were torn down. This is really what is remaining, this is where we're planning now for the winery. Most of the property has been planted except this one location in the center of the property which we have found has a very low section and there is some drainage problems and it's also a very cold section within the property and the grapes would not be able to do very in that location. I'll show you a little bit. This is just an enlarged plan of the area on the Main Road. What is being proposed here is basically three buildings with a covered breezeway linking two portions of it. The tasting area is located here with storage and wine making area; production area down towards the east side of the property. What we've done here is try to keep the edge of the existing grapes and locating parking on the west side with a drive-through back for overflow parking and for bus areas. We've found that many of the wineries out there have not designed for that overflow parking on those days in the spring and in the fall and especially during the summer when people are coming out tasting there is a lot of cars and people who can't park, parking on the Main Road so we're trying to utilize an area in the rear of the site by removing some of the grapes for this use. I'll just give you a very brief overview of the floor tense of the project. To orient your self this is the wine tasting room. It is basically these two other buildings that are central to Tommy Court. This court is tied together with trellises on one side, facing onto the Main Road, and then there is covered walkways that link all the remaining buildings. We've designed it so that they can use set value tours that will walk around the courtyard~under these covered walkways into various components of the wine making process. In addition to that, there's a pass through breezeway that runs out to a small terrace so that people can get a good view of the grapes and sort of include that in sort of their tour. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Yes. Can I just ask you a question? MS STEELMAN: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Does the building face the courtyard? functional' part of the MS STEELMAN: Yes. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: What would we see from the Main Road basically from these buildings? Would we see windows; would we see doors? Okay. Page 3 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. MS STEELMAN: Let me try to explain this a little bit. What you will see primarily from the Main Road. This is the elevation facing the Main Road. There is a large linking trellis structure, planted probably with grapevine or wisteria that will face directly on Main Road. This is right in the location of where the gazebo exists now. So you can get a sense of how high that is from the Main Road. .In this location here, this is the major production area in this wing here. Now this actually drops down and you can see it's dotted to a lower level. We try to maintain a lower profile on the Main Road, the tanks are very high, there almost sixteen feet. We've tried to bring this down by dropping it. Going down with the ramp to this lower level. So along the side you'll several windows, the small windows with gable end. This area here is the tasting room. This is a tower that sits room as a corner for the whole building and that's also seen here which would be that other directionals are coming as you're going east on the Main Road here. See this at the corner right as you come into the parking area. This area here is as ramped down, this is actually the east elevation. This ramps down to the crushing pad and some of the actual primary operations of the wine tasting, I'm sorry the wine making. This elevation is looking from the parking area, looking in this is the covered walkway here. Walking directly into the court and then either taking the value to a ramp or into the tasting area. And this is the back elevation with it's pastier freezers. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: So we would say that the orientation is more to the Main Road then it actually is into the winery. MS STEELMAN: Yeah, definitely. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Okay. I just wanted to mention to you if anybody that is in the audience that wants to see this that we'll break for a couple of moments and let them look at it. But you can continue with your presentation. MS STEELMAN: Okay. I think what I'd like to do now is kind of have Bob Pellegrini come up and just say a few words about his approach to wine making and this community and that will conclude everything. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Great. Thank you.. MR PELLEGRINI: Good evening my name is Bob Pellegrini and myself and my wife, Joyce are the sole owners and partners of this entire venture. We both are long time North Forkers in the sense that I've been coming out to the North Fork since Page 4 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. MR PELLEGRINI, cont'd: college. My roommate in college was from Mattituck so I kind of have a long history in coming out to the North Fork. I was first involved out here in 1982, where I came out here specifically to buy land to build a vineyard and a winery and I did eventually in 83 buy land which is now called Gristina Vineyards. I was partners on 'that venture until 1987 when I anticipated a miss a miss, how do I explain that. To partners that did not quite get along, it led to a disillusioned my partnership in that vineyard. The point that I'm making there is that I'm not brand new to this kind of operation involved with the wine industry in on the North Fork since 1983. We purchased a house out in Southold Town in Cutchogue in 84. It is now our permanent residents, but my wife and I lived here permanently, it is a permanent address from Buth over? So we're not, we're full time residents of the town. After that mishap in the other adventure being a life long ambition to have a vineyard and winery. We spent about two years looking for other lands. If you remember back in that time frame, in 87 the prices went crazy out here and I was selling for about $25,000 an acre and it just wasn't feasible at that point. We kept our search and looked fairly excessively for about two years and finally this opportunity came about a year ago, I took advantage of it and bought this property, closed on it last April. With the intend to, since it is a ten year old vineyard and has wonderful grape growing potential. The grapes from that vineyard were always sold to other wineries, mostly on the North Fork and up into Connecticut area and Rhode Island. But always a very fine wine was made from the grapes in that vineyard, so I saw it as a great opportunity to get involved through the quick jump, might start, right back where I left off. I purchased the property like I said back about nine months ago, with the full intent since it was a growing vineyard to start legally pursuing the goal of creating a winery which is why we're here tonight. The economics involved unfortunately in this day and age is that just grape growing by itself is especially at the prices one pays in 1991 is marginal at best. You really to get your, to make it a viable business venture, by business venture meaning to make the full property work and to hopefully keep it as a vineyard and agricultural plan you really have to wind up making wine. Because that brings the value per acre to a point where you can afford to keep that venture going. That's not the main reason that I want to do it, I want to do it because it's been my ambition to get a winery and operate and run it myself, which is what I'm going do. My wife and I are going to participate and be basically running it ourselves. Not hire anybody outside~ We're going to obviously hire wine maker and a manager and so forth but basically we are here to run the vineyard ourselves. Page 5 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold. Z.B.A. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Where do you house the equipment now Mr. Pellegrini? , MR PELLEGRINI: The actual wine making equipment? CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: No. The actual equipment for running the vineyard itself. MR PELLEGRINI: Well the tractor, there are two tractors and there is the spray equipment and there is a couple of that were pre-existing when I bought the property, some I guess they are temporary or movable truck bodies it's not a situation that I'm crazy about. But that was there and right now they function to keep the rain off the equipment, it's a little tool area. I'd like to get rid of that as soon as possible, as soon as obviously that would be part of this whole proposal here. In fact there is some, if you visited the property it is not visible from the Main Road, it's sort of tucked into a corner. There is this big truck bodies. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Thank you. MR PELLEGRINI: The winery we're going to make is going to be primarily, by primarily meaning mostly from the grapes grown on that vineyard. Like in mentioned, Nancy mentioned it happens to be a really good site and the grapes in that particular site have been claimed as being high quality. The size of the operation just to give you a sense of it is appropriate to that use to try to make it economically feasible. It's about the size of a Lenz winery or a Gristina winery rather than a much larger one. I would call that medium size I guess. But that's the way it's planned. And I'm committed to the opened space concept of the North Fork and what I'm getting at, that's the reason why that I'm actually tearing out grapes and vines to accommodate that overflow parking situation. Because I don't like the going on the Main Road either and get held up by cars parking on the Main Road creates some sort of a hazard. So I think we've accommodated that to the best of our ability, giving the particular site in question. We also chose to do three separate buildings to sort of an open space in between because that the part that Nancy called the courtyard is not covered. It's just a walkway in between the building is covered for obvious reasons so people can walk in one building to another in inclement weather. But the majority of that big square you see or square is not covered it's to sort of give it sort of an airier feeling so it doesn't look like one big huge building. We hope to it will appear maybe not in that kind of flat drawing but appear more three dimensional and have some light and air in between it rather Page 6 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. MR PELLEGRINI, cont'd: than one big massive structure. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: What's the approximate square footage of the three buildings? Main buildings. MR PELLEGRINI: Well the actual floor space itself? CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Yeah, main floor. MR PELLEGRINI: Somewhere around 6,000, 7,000 square feet. The tasting area is about 1,300 square feet, which is small as they go out here. The actual wine making facility the fermentation area I believe I don't think I'm wrong is about 3,000 square feet. MS STEELMAN: Yeah, fermentation areas. MR PELLEGRINI: And the storage area is the remainder. There is two storage areas. One for empty case storage and one for full case storage and the reason for that is we try to do the entire operation on one site. Rather than have to take wine to Riverhead to various storage facilities there and to have truck traffic back and forth. We're trying to accommodate the entire yield of the vineyard in one area. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Okay. My other question is, do you anticipate building this in a 1,2,3 fashion or are you going to'build it all at once? MR PELLEGRINI: Our anticipation is to build it at once yes. To complete it. Rather then in stages. The intent is to have a building upper roof by next crush we'll call it or harvest because unfortunately in the wine business you only have one chance a year. If we don't have our facility up and going and functioning, not necessarily tasting areas so much but the wine making part at least you loose a whole years worth of production. As you can probably imagine the cost that this building plus the equipment that will go in it is substantial and to loose one year is kind of, it would be kind of unfortunate. That's why we're trying to plan ahead and trying to get going as quick as possible. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: It's my understanding that both the case storage and the fermentation barrel storage and bottle area are both two storage structures, meaning there is one in the ground and.one above or one ground level. MR PELLEGRINI: Basically yeah. The intent of that was is to get the maximum square foot usage out of the least amount of visible area on top. Page 7 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Somewhat like the Gristina with the ten foot ceiling or eleven foot ceiling. MR PELLEGRINI: Having had, I've never seen Gristina's inside so I really don't know. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: He's about 5,500 square feet. MR PELLEGRINI: The entire building? CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Yes. MR PELLEGRINI: This is a little bigger. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: So he tells me. The only reason why we're comparing it is we're running through new fields here so to speak. And I'll use this as an example and I don't want to belabor the topic or extend any of the hearings any longer than they should, but if you remember when we first started here in this idea of the special permit we were dealing with existing barns in existing areas. Alright. We have then gone to such things as Gristina and Mattituck Hills which were brand new structures alright, both of which either faced the vineyard or faced the road, based upon the persons liking who was developing or architectually built it. In this particular case that was the nature of the reason for my question. Are we facing the road or are we facing the vineyard. MR PELLEGRINI: You mean the majority of the buildings? CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Yeah, the majority of the building again appears here to be facing the road. MR PELLEGRINI: Well the again the tasting room area is about 24 foot wide and the actual fermentation building the part that's closest to the road the building goes back, it's 32 foot wide. And in between is this trellis. So the actual surface area facing the road is 23 foot wide on one end and 70 or 80 feet away is 32 feet also facing the road, in between is a trellis area, the a, in the flat plan the higher building is practically a good 60 or 70 feet back from that. See here we have the three dimensional quality here. Like for instance the trellis here is 60 feet or 70 feet in front of this building back here. CHAIRMAN GOEHR~NGER: No problem. We're just trying to get an orientation because those are some of the things. MR PELLEGRINI: No I understand fully. Page 8 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery $outhold Z.B.A. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: My only other problem that I have is that based upon the Gristina Winery application again I'm not bringing in past things, but things that people have questioned. I noticed that your crushing pit is within about 20 feet of the property is that correct? MR PELLEGRINI: It's about 25 feet from the eastern property line. The difference here is is that the crushing pad is below grade. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Okay. MR PELLEGRINI: So the entire operation or the functioning of the crushing pad would not be visible from ground level. It would be below grade and it would also be decorated or landscaped to a point, it would have a visual screen not only from that property line, which frankly there is four or five trees right in there anyway now anyway but also from the Main Road as well. So the commercial part quote unquote or the machinery part is visible during crushing which frankly is only about five or six days a year. Functioning with that. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: We were more concerned with noise during crushing then we are with actual visibility.. MR PELLEGRINI: The most noise complaints I've heard out here from the years I've been here are the badgers the noises of the guns going off and all that the bird control. Well I purchased netting for the entire vineyard which was put'up this year, so we don't use any noise control at all. We have full netting for the entire vineyard. Every vine in the vineyard is covered right now. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: How much noise is the crushing involved. MR PELLEGRINI: Well the crushing is basically tractors which is agricultural bringing the grapes from the vineyards into the crushing pad. And the actual press itself is minimal amount of noise. It's just that it's not a grinding machine like that at all. It's practically it's a compressor that will be located inside the building that fills a large bladder inside the press that squeezes the grapes against the sides of this cylindrical press. So there is no grinding noise. It gets turned over every so often but that's pretty much done by hand. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: So the only noise~is merely tractor noise? Page 9 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. MR PELLEGRINI: Just tractor noise and so forth to get the grapes from the vineyard into the winery itself. Then there are pumps that pump the wine from augers actually more augers that shove the wine through plastic or whatever plastic hoses that are about ten inches in diameter into the various tanks on the inside. But again those are relatively, those noises are no louder than a car, not even close to a car engine. They're just pumps that move the fluid or the liquid ~of crushed material from one, from outside to inside. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Have you ever heard a farmer grading his potatoes to a conveyor belt or either a combine operating? MR PELLEGRINI: Yeah, it's less noisy than that. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Less noisy than that. Okay, good. MR PELLEGRINI: Again the harvest is, we have chardonay, mallow, cabronay, it's our basic varieties. We have five, four different varieties and for all intensive purposes they're all usually not the machine harvest capability we have out here. They're all harvested more or less within a day or two each variety. I harvested my entire vineyard this year, sold it to a local winery and there were five different harvest days. To do the whole vineyard. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Thank you very much. MR PELLEGRINI: You're very welcome. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Is there anyone in the audience who was not able to see these renderings that would like to see them? Okay seeing no hands we will continue with the hearing. Is there anything you would like to see Ms Steelman? MS STEELMAN: Yeah, I think as you can see with 36 acres here requires a winery. This is a prominent piece of property and Mr. Pellegrini is very dedicated to producing a good wine. I think it would be a shame if this was denied and that you would have to then have to find another means in which to produce his wine. I think it's very fundamental to the North Fork that the wineries starting, wineries are starting out to be able to preserve some farmland. It is bringing tourists into the area. I think there's many positive things that the wineries in the area can provide for the North Fork. I think it's really also part of the master plan to provide for these types of uses to start to look at how we can preserve some of our rural heritage. And think this is a good solution for it. Page t0 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Thank you again. Bob, do you have any questions? MEMBER VILLA: Yeah, I had a question. or Nancy you said the farm consists of that is in grapes? MR PELLEGRINI: Ail but the front part. section which is 2 acres Nancy? Mr. Pellegrini said 36 acres. How much of The front little MS STEELMAN: Yes about 2 acres maybe even less. MEMBER VILLA: So you haven't about 34 acres of grapes? MR PELLEGRINI: 31 actually. There are alley ways and so forth and then there's a little wet spot in the middle where I've actually, wet years floods. MEMBER VILLA: Now having been on a farmland preservation group we had tried to get this farm into the program with the previous owners and I don't think they ever went through with it. Would you be interested in. MR PELLEGRINI: Well I have the, the County is really being slow. At the point when I bought the vineyard I notified them that I bought the vineyard and there was a standing offer, well the previous owners were offered development rights opportunities and I wrote to the County and they're transferring that over to my name. I have not made a decision about whether I'm going to do that or not at this point. I am seeing whether the offer extends to me, which I believe it does. I believe that they will do that. The fact that it's committed to the grape growing capability here and the vines are some of the oldest vines on the North Fork, I intend to keep it agricultural, yes. But I can't answer that other question right now without knowing more. MEMBER VILLA: It's under study because it's next to another piece. The Crosses sold their development rights and of course, they're trying to enlarge those holdings of towns. Thanks. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: By the way that has no bearing on this permit. MEMBER VILLA: 'No. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: No. Page 11 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Pellegrini Winery Southold Z.B.A. MR PELLEGRINI: It just is enough to see whether or not the County is interested in extending the rights to me. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Does anybody else have any other questions? Thank Ms. Steelman. Is there anybody else who would like to speak in the audience concerning this hearing either pro or con? Seeing no hands I'll make a motion, oh, there is someone. Seeing no further hands I'll make a motion closing the hearing reserving decision until later. MEMBER VILLA: Second. Ail in Favor - AYE. Appl. No.: 4067 Applicant(s): Paolo Lavagetto Location of Property: S/S Mason Drive, County Tax Map No.: 1000-63-7-34 & 35 Cutchogue, NY The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:00 p.m. and read the notice of hearing and application for the record. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: I have a copy of a survey indicating this parcel as it presently sits. And I have a copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map indication this and surrounding properties in the area. Is there somebody who would like to be heard in behalf of this application? Can I ask you to state your name please for the record. Maybe use the mike if you wouldn't mind sir. You are... MR PRESTIA: I'm representing Paolo Lavagetto. My name is John Prestia. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Nice to meet you sir. MR PRESTIA: This is all new to me. CHAIR~L~N GOEHRINGER: problem. Okay, you can stand there that's no MR PRESTIA: I have some photographs if that's what you need. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Surely. We'll take them. MR PRESTIA: I.got them marked here what sides they're on. This would be the northeast side. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Right. It looks familiar. Page 33 - December 16, 1991 Public Hearing - Troy and Joan Gustavson Southold Z.B.A. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Sure. Mr. Dinizio would like to. MEMBER DINIZIO: I'd just like to state that I did go down there at night and I brought my children down and we did run around the court and I turned it on and I went to both sides of the property actually on the other property and I could not see any of that light washing on to either side. You know there is railroad tracks in the back. It just doesn't seem like this is in any way a hindrance. Other than you could have just as easily had parking lot lighting there on all the time and TUPuNED TAPE OVER CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Would anybody else who would like to speak either for or against this respective application? MR BRESSLER: Yes. I guess I might say that if any of the Board Members have any questions about the game itself isn't Saturday morning the or is it Sunday morning you go down there. MR GUSTAVSON: Generally speaking, Saturday mornings between nine and twelve. We basically have an open house for anybody who is interested in learning more about the sport. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Interesting. Very good. MR BRESSLER: And he'll be down there if you want to see what it's like. It's good for old guys to play too. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Let the record show that Mr. Bressler is referring to the applicant and .... MR BRESSLER: And myself. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Hearing no further qomment.

Please communicate those areas concerning on-site circulation and pedestrian safety, and possible alternatives in the parking layout, as well as other areas which you feel should be imposed, resulting from this preliminary (planning) review of this recently filed site plan application.

(The site plan map with the ZBA office is dated 10/18/91, and we've been told that the applicant has submitted the same maps to the Planning Board. We do not have extras, but if you should need a print, we will ask the applicant to furnish additional copies for you if necessary.) In the event there is other data necessary which is not directly related to the Special Exception pending with our office or if we have not received written comments on the general layout (i.e. egress, ingress, parking, setbacks, fencing or other structures or buildings) within the required 60-day period provided in the code, we will assume you have no objection generally to the layout and proceed with the Special Exception application. Your comments will be of a preliminary nature, and you should feel free at any time to comment again at a later date if you find it necessary as the application process continues.

State APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION - Pellegrini Winery B. The applicant alleges that the approval of this exception would be in harmony with the intent and purpose of said zoning ordinance and that the proposed use conforms to the standards prescribed therefor in said ordinance and would not be detrimental to property or persons in the neighborhood for the following reasons: The proposed winery is intended for the production and sale of wine from grapes grown on the existing vineyards on the property. The existing vineyard consists of approximately 34 acres of grapes dating back to 1981. In the past the grapes have been processed off site at varous wineries on the North Fork. At this time, the owner would prefer to consolidate the wine making operation on site by establishing a working winery. The proposed use would not be detrimental to properties or persons in the surrounding neighborhood due to the compatibility of the agricultural uses in the area. The surrounding neighborhood is a mix of agriculatural and residential uses with existing wineries, vineyards and nurseries in close proximity to the site. I, .~ROJEC. T LO.
